Rules for thee but not for me; it's human nature.
That's the brilliance of the concept of English Common Law and the Magna Carta; that it attempted to subject everyone to the same rules.
Having a Great Leader (or ruling class) is human nature, but it's dysfunctional and needs citizens that are awake to prevent it from developing. Both US political parties have continually consolidated power to the Executive branch due to our inclination towards a Great Leader instead of Federalism.
